How do you handle large tables or grids efficiently?

Senior JQuery
Quick Answer Large tables/grids: use DataTables jQuery plugin for built-in pagination, sorting, filtering, and AJAX data loading. For custom solutions: paginate server-side, render only the current page. Use fixed-height rows and CSS to control visible area. For truly huge datasets (100K+ rows), use a virtual scroll approach - only render rows in the viewport.

Answer

Cache table rows.
Use pagination or infinite scroll.
Reduce DOM manipulations during updates.
